You might skip out on exercises that train muscles like your forearms or rear delts, but there's one spot that is more typically overlooked (and improperly trained) than others: the calf muscles.

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), in response to a myriad of injurious stimuli, switch from a contractile state to a proliferative/migratory state in a process known as phenotypic modulation.

Figure. Intersectional genetics for high-resolution, origin-specific targeting of vascular smooth muscle cells. A, A 2-step sequence in which expression of an origin-selective Dre-recombinase driver ...

Knee pain is the most common muscle and joint ailment that brings people to the doctor. It affects about 25% of U.S. adults. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, overuse, or medical ...

The molecular mechanisms underlying uncontrolled airway smooth muscle cell (aSMC) proliferation involved in pulmonary remodelling are still largely unknown. Small G proteins of the Rho family (RhoA, ...

This important study explored a molecular comparison of smooth muscle and neighboring fibroblast cells found in lung blood vessels afflicted by a disease called pulmonary arterial hypertension. In ...

Muscle is a soft tissue composed of elongated cells (muscle fibres) that produce force and motion through contraction. Involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles are responsible for contraction of the ...

The authors isolated and cultured pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts (PAAF) of the lung samples derived from the patients with idiopathic ...
